Key Summary
AIU's Distance Learning Master of Linguistics program will be a tailor-made program designed just for you by you and your counselor. This flexibility to meet your needs is rarely found in other distance learning programs. Our program does not require that each student study the same subjects and use the same books and study materials as other students. Instead, our online Master's Programs are designed just for you. They are individually designed to meet your needs and help you achieve your professional and personal goals.
